This has obviously changed in the last 15 years then. I looked though the
INAV archives and found an article by Steve Brown from mid 1999 shortly
after the 55cm rules were passed. They didn't go into effect until the
beginning of 2001. This seems much more logical to vote on rules 2 years
before they go into effect.
Also a direct quote from that article "The CIAM Free Flight Subcommittee is
composed mostly of outdoor flyers and voted 14-5 in favor of the agenda
proposed by Hungary. Apparently the Subcommittee referenced the perceived
success of performance restrictions in F1B and F1C and applied this
philosophy to indoor models. U.S. input was not incorporated in the final
specification." - Steve Brown
Deja vu all over again. This time around they used a lack of high ceiling
sites as the excuse.
If you can't beat them, change the rules. If you still can't beat them,
change the rules again.
